Are there any part time employees left? - just wondering

Posted: Aug 29, 2013

I wasn't on the boards for a little while, and now I'm seeing posts about all the part time people being laid off. Is this true? Do we know this for sure, or just speculation?

I'm part time and still here. I think the concensus was part timers, upper tier gone.

I've been part time for over 2 years working the minimum 24 hours a week. Takes away some of the frustration.

I'm a part-time, tier III, and am still here; however, I've gone from having 2 main hospital accounts a few years ago to now having to jump around among many different hospital accounts, with a heavy concentration on operative reports, which I'm not crazy about.

I'm a part-timer at 24 hours, tier 3, at the top of the pay scale and I'm still here. We were told the ones let go were the part-time flex (though we were also told they were let go back in April) and the part-timers who were on performance management or were the lower tiers.

Tier 3, 24 hours a week. When speaking with TSM, she indicated that flex part-timers were let go.

Part time 30 hours for 17 years, 100% on last review, Tier II. Laid off last Monday

Part time 24 hours, Tier II, still here until next round. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the layoffs. I think they are pulling names outta hats! :

it is true. They laid me off after 3 years with them. I switched from full time to part time per their suggestion and then they laid me off after working part time for 1.5 years. Just sucked. NO WARNING.

I will be going part-time soon (Social Security) and am considering whether to work about 4-5 hours a day for 5 days a week or work 3 days (7-8 hours each). Not sure if the 3 days is even allowed, but I know some co-workers are doing 4-day weeks@10 hours a day. My question is which do those of you who are already part-time like? I see advantages and disadvantages to both. We are required to have set schedules. With a 5-day schedule, having the rest of the day free. With ...

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs.

If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so. Thanks. ...

I want to work as an employee and have benefits. I need health insurance and really want PTO. I want a company big enough to be busy but I CANNOT AND WILL NOT work for MQ again. I thought that DSG was the answer for me and have enjoyed working there the last 2 years. Yesterday was my last day as I refuse to be an MQ employee even for a day. I have a small savings account, and my husband has a decent job, so I am not desperate but I will need to be working within the ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I see the post about going from full to part time, but what about the opposite? For example, if I get hired at 30 hours per week and I have extra time available for a few weeks, can I consistently work more hours than those scheduled 30 hours? Thanks for any insight you can give. ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

I hired on at full time but want to drop 2 hours off a day. Do they make you change shift or accounts in that case? I don't want benefits so don't care about that. I worked at Nuance and any change in schedule ultimately ended up in an account and/or shift change. TIA ...

For those who went full time to part-time with MQ (because you got another job)...how did that work? Did they approve the schedule you wanted, or did they make you take a schedule? My CCM told me in my area there is no more flexible part-time available but could do regular 24 hour part-time...she said she would have to approve my schedule if and when I do this. I may be doing two part-time jobs to start and I am trying to figure out how to do my scheduling around both jobs. Does a ...
